Thanks Jack.
Since it has been around a lot longer I should also mention Scott
Klement's UNIXCMD (
https://www.scottklement.com/unixcmd/
<
https://www.scottklement.com/unixcmd/>) it was originally implemented
as a SPECIAL file, but Scott may have updated it for Open Access. He's
teaching a session on it at PowerUp.

which I found by doing a google search for "iso bitmap 8583 python
code
example" - substituting Java, PHP or node for python produces
similar
results.
I was mostly trying to make the point to the OP that we can't say
what the
"best way" to process the bitmap is without knowing _what_ they want
to do
with it.

Can you point me to an example of doing this?

You can't map binary values to EBCDIC; it wouldn't help if you
could.
You just need to use RPG's bitwise operations %BITxxx against
the bitmap
field.
However - looking at the definition of ISO8583 bitmaps here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8583 <
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8583> it might be simpler to
convert
the whole bitmap string to an array by repetitively dividing by
zero. A
value of 1 indicating that the field in question is present.
It really depends on what you want to do. For example, using
the
%BITxxx
BIFs would be the most useful if you just want to know "does the
message
include field x" and the division approach is better if you need
to know
which fields need to be processed.
It is also possible that there is an underlying MI instruction
that may
be
surfaced that will perfomr the equivalent iof the array
operation but
I'm
not familiar with it.
And then of course you could always call PHP, Python, node from
RPG to
perform the operation.
Why the heck in this day and age ISO are bothering with bitmaps
is
beyond
me but ...
